I thought it tasted much better than the ones with canned green beans and canned soup. It takes a little more time but the taste and flavor are worth it. It is the perfect side for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.Īnd a close up view of a serving of green bean casserole. When it comes out of the oven you have the nice, crispy golden brown onions on top of hot creamy mushroom sauce covered green beans. I used canned but if you have the time and motivation, make homemade.īake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 25 minutes. Place the green beans in a 9×13 casserole dish and pour the mushroom sauce over them. (I told you it was not low calorie!) You can use milk also but I would not recommend skim milk. (Sorry I forgot to get a photo of that.) Then add in half and half or heavy cream. Then, if you like, you can add some sliced onion.Īdd Chicken broth (I use low sodium) and worcestershire. Then over medium heat, melt butter (I did not claim this was low calorie) and add mushrooms and sprinkle with salt.Ĭook until the mushrooms are golden brown. Then remove them and place in cold ice water. Place them in boiling water for 5 or 6 minutes. Start with fresh green beans that have been rinsed and had the ends trimmed off. However, the rest of the casserole is homemade. However, after burning “homemade” fried onion rings, I decided to go ahead with the canned french fried onions. What I decided to do was to make a green bean casserole with fresh green beans, a homemade mushroom sauce, and had originally planned to make homemade french fried onions. However, some have not and requested the traditional green bean casserole this year. However, after decades of the same green bean casserole made with canned french-style green beans and canned soup, I grew tired of it. If there is no green bean casserole, it does not feel like Thanksgiving. It does not matter if there is cornbread dressing (stuffing), creamed corn, or a sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce, or cranberry fluff, or other Thanksgiving side dishes. I have been told by some members of my family that it is not Thanksgiving if there is no green bean casserole on the table. This Homemade Green Bean Casserole, a traditional green bean casserole that is made from scratch with fresh green beans and a homemade mushroom sauce and topped with french fried onions, will be a hit with your family and friends on Thanksgiving.
